When it is in neutral it seems like it is over reving. Sounds like I am applying the throttle.

Yes there is a master fuse somewhere in there.Follow the red lead off the battery they are usually located by the starter solenoid.But on some of the older models the main fuse was mixed right in with the others.

Answer by Loki
If we’re talking about a low mileage example, 10w40 is fine. If the bike has been around the block a few times (30,000+ miles/50,000+ km) you might feel better with something a little heavier such as 15w50. Personally, I use Motul 15w50 semi synthetic and my bike has over 90,000 miles on it. But truthfully, regular oil changes are more important than the type of oil you use. Good luck

on a Honda CX500 motorcycle, are you able to drive it on 1cyl?

Owen — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:33:00 +0000

Question by kemaramodel: on a Honda CX500 motorcycle, are you able to drive it on 1cyl?
I’m thinking of buying a CX500, but its only running on 1 cyl. right now… is ti drivable? i wouldn’t be driving it long distances or anything, or all the time. Just here and there like 1-2x a week. If i buy it, I’ll be buying it for $ 300. Is it worth it?
Its a 1979 btw.
yea, obviously i don’t have the experience/knowledge or i wouldn’t ask… but isn’t this what the “yahoo answers” are for?
I’m not looking to use it everyday or for long distances… just every once and a while to run like 2 miles each time i’d ride.
About how much would it cost to get the carbs cleaned n stuff?

Best answer:

Answer by G B
Why don’t you consider having it repaired, it could be something as simple as replacing a bad spark plug ?
However, assuming that it is something more serious, say a plugged carb, or even a burnt valve, if you keep running it that way you will cause more serious damage. Not to mention that it will be very underpowered, ill idling, and probably prone to overheating. As a mechanic I have taken on numerous repair projects, but, if you lack the tools and experience you should probably avoid this one and save your money for something that at least runs correctly.

It’s always great to have a passion for what you do, but unfortunately you will probably need some sort of certification to work for a huge company like Honda.

How exactly do you adjust the rear suspension on a 07 Honda VTX 1300 motorcycle?

Question by Steven C: How exactly do you adjust the rear suspension on a 07 Honda VTX 1300 motorcycle?
From the picture in the owners manual, it seems I’m missing a tool from my kit.

Best answer:

Answer by guardrailjim
The tool is less than $ 10

Go to – your bike – Tools
If you’re VERY careful, you can turn the shock adjuster with a big pair of “channel lock pliers” while wrapping the shock with a thick rag.
The thick rag is to prevent scratching, and chewing up the chrome.
Be careful not to crush the shock cover.

You are wasting a lot of points on this one question X 3.
